Plasma6-applets-panel-colorizer overrides

I am using Plasma 6.5.1 and panel colorizer 5.2.0. I am trying to get a 3 section dock across the bottom of my screen with the app menu, desktop pager and weather applet on teh left, the icons only task manager in the midddle and the system tray and peek on the right.

I did it successfully with three distinct panels, but when I opened too many programs the task manager panel overlapped with the system tray panel. I then tried with a single panel using a spacer to the right and left of the task manager and everything works perfect, except I cannot get the spacers to hide. I have looked at the help pages for panel colorizer and found that the widget has been updated faster than the documentation. Global override no longer has blacklist and you are supposed to use preset override. However, nothing I do makes a visual difference to any widget. For the life of me I cannot hide the spacers.

Has anyone successfully accomplished this? If yes please share how.

Be prepared to provide outputs from various commands when asked. It’s equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.

Waiting for someone to blindly ask questions is also counter-productive – typically, nobody has a :crystal_ball: at their disposal – Instead, please help others to make informed suggestions, based on information you provide.


Update Announcements

The Update Announcements contain important information and a Known Issues and Solutions section that should generally be checked before posting a request for support.

System Information

While information from *-fetch type apps might be fine for someone wishing to buy your computer, for Support purposes it’s better to ask your system directly; :eyes:

Output of the inxi command (with appropriate parameters, and formatted according to forum guidelines) will generate information useful for those wishing to help:

inxi --filter --verbosity=8

or the short form (preferred):

inxi -zv8

If it is a third party widget you are using, your best bet is to discuss it with the developer.

Widgets may or may not work - especially if they are not maintained at the same cadence as Plasma.

Thank you. I will reach out to the dev. I expected it to be a long shot that my particular use case would have crossed paths with someone else here, but thought it was worth a chance.
